However, Chaoge stopped her.
“That won’t do,” said Chaoge. “Feng Qi is the old lady’s granddaughter. Of course, you’re on her side. Even if she stole it, you’ll pretend that nothing happened and blame it on us. No, it can’t be you.”
Old Mrs. Gu frowned. If there weren’t so many people around, she would have had Chaoge killed, but she couldn’t do that while everyone was watching.
Therefore, she could only stare at Chaoge and Feng Wu. “What do you want, then?”
Chaoge snorted. “That’s simple. I’ll do the search.
“I’ll search Feng Qi. That should be fair,” said Chaoge.
Feng Qi smirked. “Why is that fair? What if you put something in my pocket? You’re not frisking me!”
“What about my people?” asked a calm voice.
The crowd looked around and saw that it was Lady Northern Feng.
Lady Northern Feng smiled and pointed at her maid, Granny Tao. She asked old Mrs. Gu, “My lady, how would you feel if I let Granny Tao search Feng Qi?”
Old Mrs. Gu only wanted to make the whole thing go away as soon as possible so that she could move on to the next plan. She said, “Sure. Go ahead.”
Granny Tao walked up to Feng Qi and smiled faintly. “Sorry about this, Miss Feng Qi.”
Feng Qi spread her arms and said, “Just get it over with. I’m starving.”
“Yes,” Granny Tao said calmly.
Just like Granny Zhu did with Feng Wu, she started from Feng Qi’s hair.
Old Mrs. Gu didn’t like it and felt that Lady Northern Feng was deliberately mimicking her.
And she was right.
Granny Tao was indeed mimicking Granny Zhu.
Granny Tao had been with Lady Northern Feng for a very long time, and naturally, she liked Feng Wu. Moreover, with her experience in the imperial palace, she would never be intimidated by the Gu family.
Therefore, she took her time and searched Feng Qi for 15 minutes.
Feng Qi was so angry that her face turned red.
She would have lost her temper if she was being searched by another person. However, Granny Tao was from Northern Feng Mansion, and Lady Northern Feng was known for being unrelenting. Recalling how Tao Qingqing had been scolded by Lady Northern Feng, Feng Qi didn’t dare make a sound.
Lady Gu was frustrated as well. In the end, she couldn’t help but say, “My lady, I think that’s long enough, isn’t it?”
Lady Northern Feng glanced at Granny Tao.
Granny Tao nodded.
Lady Gu let out a breath of relief. “I knew that nothing would be found on her. Xiao Qi is a good girl. How could she steal anything? What a waste of time.”
She even teased Granny Tao a little.
Old Mrs. Gu was relieved as well. “Maybe someone took the bracelet away. Let’s broaden the search.”
Granny Zhu nodded and was about to leave.
“That won’t be necessary.”
Granny Tao looked up at the old lady.
Old Mrs. Gu suddenly had a bad feeling.
She was right!
Granny Tao raised Feng Qi’s right hand, and a bracelet dropped out of her sleeve.. Granny Tao caught it and said, “I frisked Miss Feng Qi for so long because I wanted to make sure that she didn’t have anything else on her.”
